Kearsten, daughter of Kopf Builders president Herman "Bucky" Kopf, said water damage and black mold was prevalent in the buildings, which had fallen under serious disarray under the ownership of the Maharashi Ayurvea.

The rezoning request by Herman "Bucky" Kopf, owner of Kopf Builders Inc., still needs to be approved by City Council.

...

The property at 216 Miller Road is zoned as R-1 residential and B-2 business, and Kopf wants all of the land to be rezoned as multi-family R-3 residential to fit his needs for the project, said Gary Fell, chairman of the Planning Commission.

...

Based on the 53 acres in the proposal, Kopf would have the potential to build more than 630 units.

...

So far, Kopf has only been able to show the Planning Commission conceptual plans, according to Joe Reitz, assistant to the city engineer.

...

In front of the Planning Commission last night, Kopf displayed conceptual plans for the property that would include the building of three-story luxury condominium complexes with a car garage underneath, apartment buildings, a few small lakes for beautification purposes as well as an upscale multi-recreational facility.

Kopf also said he will try and preserve as much of the golf course on the current property as he can.

"I want to clean this property up and make it really look like something," Kopf said.

The property that Kopf has an option to purchase is valued at $2.6 million, according to the Lorain County Auditor's Office.

Avon Lake Mayor Rob Berner has said Kopf is requesting a 75 percent, 10-year tax abatement for improvements made to the property.

...

Although the price that Kopf has optioned the property for has not been released, he said if the city does not approve the proposal then he will have "$250,000 of hard cash on the line."

...

"I don't expect them to ask for a suspension of the rules, but I do know he (Kopf) is on a tight time constraint," Stanek said, noting Kopf has to act on the option to buy the land by the end of December.

...

The only dissension to the approval was from Planning Commission member Erma Haverback, who only had a problem with a portion of the land being rezoned on Lake Road because a small portion of that land is owned by citizens of Avon Lake and is zoned as R-1, which would be surrounded by Kopf's potential property.

...

"I want to get this done in my lifetime," Kopf said, adding that the approval was step one in a long process.
